Super convenient! The eSIM was easy to install and activated right away after scanning the QR code. The internet speed was fast and reliable throughout my trip, which made it easy to navigate, book rides, and stay connected. The instructions were clear, and I didn’t have to worry about finding a local SIM card upon arrival. Definitely recommend this for anyone traveling — hassle-free and worth it!

The hotel's shuttle service is excellent. The staff is very enthusiastic and patient, providing helpful information about transportation and dining options. They recommended a Northern-style noodle restaurant that's a short walk behind the hotel. The scallion pancakes there were delicious and crispy. The taxi service and arrangements were seamless, and the staff was very thoughtful in giving me a hotel business card with a taxi number already written on the back. I really appreciate the warmth and hospitality of Kaohsiung. The breakfast selection was decent with quite a few options, and you can even have beef soup. There's also a large screen showing introductions to Kaohsiung, which you can watch while dining. It's great and provides excellent travel information.

The hotel's cleanliness was excellent, and the reception staff were very friendly. Overall, it was a good stay. The only drawback was the unreliable internet due to the mountain location. I had trouble opening an app at the convenience store to buy something. Thankfully, the hotel's Wi-Fi was sufficient. It would be perfect if other stores could also provide Wi-Fi.

I like to live life with a sense of ritual, so I brought my own Christmas balloons. Thank you to the housekeeping staff for cleaning the room and arranging them so adorably ❤️. The hotel's location is close to the MRT station, which adds to the convenience of traveling back and forth ❤️. The hotel has a sparkling water machine, which is a plus ❤️. The fitness and business spaces are very comfortable, which is another plus ❤️. Breakfast wasn't as bad as other people commented; at least the cost-effectiveness was sufficient 👌🤭. The only downside is the mattress, which may not meet everyone's needs, which is a bit of a shame.

Located very close to the Kaohsiung MRT Caoya Station, about a 10-minute walk, and next to the skm Park shopping center, a go-kart track, and a mini children's amusement park, making it a great place to bring kids to relax and shop. Single occupancy includes a double bed or two single beds, with a spacious room that is convenient for plugging in a portable charger and using a laptop. If breakfast was not selected when booking, it can be added on the morning of your stay for $350 NTD. Conveniently located near Kaohsiung International Airport, making it an ideal accommodation for those traveling abroad or to the outer islands. You won't hear the noise of planes taking off or landing at night, as the soundproofing is excellent, and there are no noisy children. The cleanliness is very thorough, clean, and tidy.
